Translation

Treats blood strangury, and sand and gao strangury passed in strings, with pain as if cut by a knife. True musk 5 pun and one root of scallion white, pounded together for the juice; catechu 3 don 5 pun and amber 2 don 5 ri, powdered. Stir into freshly boiled water, add the scallion juice, and take together on an empty stomach — like a spirit. — Jongsu 種樹 (Donguibogam · Sobyeon)

Clinical commentary 臨床

如條 — passed in strings: clots or casts coming out whole, which is what makes the pain knife-like. Catechu is rare in Korean formulas and the chapter's only use of it. **Musk is from a CITES-listed species.** — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
